Posted Apr 29, 2013"I can use pistons to push thing away from my faction to go to the wilderness but I cant make them return in my faction using pistons. It is a 1 way trip. Only way to resolve this is to claim all the land. I am thinking about Nether farm at the moment."
Has been reported by 1 of our members, can you take a look at this?

When you run the command with no arguments like that it will tell you.

That's covered under "factionPermDefaults" as "CONTAINER". It can similarly be set within a single faction using /f perm.

Posted Apr 29, 2013Hi,
I have noticed that you have removed the option in the config.json to allow players to open chests whether they are in the same faction or not.
I just want to know if this is permanent?
Please get back to me asap!

It does get tiring answering the same questions over and over, especially ones which seem to have a fairly obvious answer. Besides the word upgrade, basic math tells you that 1.8 is greater than 1.6.
No active development is planned for 1.6.x, which has been the case for quite a while now, only compatibility updates and bugfixes. No promises for even those at this point. Of course now with active development moved forward to a 2.0 release, the 1.8.x branch will have only limited active development done on it moving forward. It will likewise be generally just updated for compatibility and bugfixes.

does that funny comment mean its newer and the support for 1.6.x is time limited?

The word "upgrade" should be your clue.

One to two weeks presumably. Cayorion is still fixing bugs that occure on our server, but it seems very stable so far. The ETA can vary, depending on when and how many bugs are found on our server Massivecraft.

Posted Apr 28, 2013I've upgraded to the newest version of Factions (1.8.2) and HeroChat (5.6.6) and so far the Faction and Alliance channels work brilliantly! However, I'm unable to display Faction Names/Tags in the other Channels that I have for HeroChat.
Is there any way to add them? I've tried {faction_tag} and whatnot but it doesn't look like it's possible to add anything to the format through HeroChat for it to pick up the Faction Tag/Name. chatSetFormat doesn't set the format for the channels if it's set to "true".

Posted Apr 28, 2013Hello, a few problems with the new 1.8.2 update.
It seems like the config is missing tons of things that the 1.6.9.5 had, like the option for Warzones not to lose power in or having the ability to open chests in other factions land. I hope you guys push an update quick considering it does not seem like this one has been to much beneficial to the Factions plugin, I know you guys are working on 2.0 and I'm quite looking forward to that, but please fix these problems first, or maybe i'm just missing something.

Posted Apr 28, 2013After updating the plugin to the newest update, everyone didnt have the prefix for the faction they had been in, and didnt have admin access to the faction they owned.
I downgraded back to the old plugin and it fixed the prefix erorr, but no one has admin access to the faction they owned.
I really need help! Willing to donate.

Posted Apr 28, 2013I updated to the latest version and No one was in their faction. I checked and the factions were still active tho. So, I'm on the 1.4.3 version for now. What's wrong D:

You should specify what version you're running.
Lava and water buckets: nope, just tested in 1.6.9.5 and in 1.8.2 to be sure, both properly prevent bucket dumping in SafeZones. Of course in 1.6.9.5 as always anyone with factions.managesafezone permission can do whatever they want, including unclaiming all SafeZones and using buckets and so forth. That would cover both of your (non-bug) problems. Sort out your permissions.
